Brief Description

Pencil sketch of two decorated elephants with riders facing each other, trunks intertwined

Detailed Description

A horizontal pencil sketch on light brown paper depicts two large elephants facing each other in the center. Both elephants are adorned with elaborate harnesses and what appear to be seating structures or howdahs on their backs. Each elephant has a small rider seated on its back, holding a staff or ankus. The elephants' trunks are intertwined or touching in the central vertical axis of the drawing. Their bodies are robust and rounded, with visible details of their legs bent. The elephant on the left faces right, its tail curled upwards. The elephant on the right faces left, its tail also curled. The drawing is rendered with visible pencil lines, indicating a sketch. The paper shows a prominent vertical crease running down the middle, separating the two elephants, with faint, indistinct lines in the background.
